Things I Wish I Had Known
Lessons on Building and Sustaining an Acting Career
The Huntington, Calderwood Pavilion
Cocktails: 6:00 - 7:00 pm / Panel Discussion: 7:00 - 8:30 pm
Presented with SAG-AFTRA New England
Every actor’s path is different—but the early years often raise the same questions: What should I expect from auditions? How do I build a relationship with an agent? How do I gain momentum in my career? Whether you’re just getting started or looking to take the next step, this seminar offers an inside look at how to navigate the industry from those who’ve been there.
From auditions and representation to building relationships and sustaining your craft, this panel goes beyond the basics to share what often gets left out of the classroom or casting call. With support from SAG-AFTRA, this seminar is designed to be an open, encouraging space where emerging and established talent can hear real talk about the industry—and leave better equipped for the journey.
Panelists will offer real-world advice on career sustainability and share the lessons they wish someone had told them when they were starting out.
